From the detail optical calculation based on the multi-scale analysis including near-field optics, it was found that surface plasmon loss in the metal cathode is suppressed to less than 10% due to long range and short range surface plasmon coupling between both sides of metal cathode. Not less than 90% of optical power in the dipole emission can be successfully utilized as propagation light. Light extraction efficiency in a phosphorescent device has improved about twice by using the multi-cathode structure.展开更多

Specifically, the internal relaxation, which was not captured in the widely used biaxial strain model, was included in a complementary manner to lattice relaxation. Density functional theory as well as a hybrid functional method based on a plane wave basis set was employed to calculate the lattice structure, elastic constants, electronic properties and optical properties of perovskite BaZrO3. The lattice parameter c exhibited a clear linear dependence on the imposed in-plane strain, but the Poisson's ratio caused by internal relaxation was smaller than the elastic deformation, indicating an "inelastic" or "plastic" relaxation manner caused by the introduction of internal relaxation. As a result, the related electronic and optical properties of perovskite BaZrO3 were also strongly affected by the in-plane strain, which revealed an effective way to adjust the properties of perovskite BaZrO3 via internal relaxation.展开更多

METHODS:Fifteen subjects were recruited. The corneal images from optical coherence tomography(OCT)were imported into Matlab software. Five edge detection methods(Canny,Log,Prewitt,Roberts,Sobel)were used to identify the corneal surface. Then two manual identifying methods(ginput and getpts)were applied to identify the edge coordinates respectively. The differences among these methods were compared. Binomial curve(y=Ax2+Bx+C),Polynomial curve [p(x)=p1xn+p2x(n-1)+....+pnx+pn+1] and Conic section(Ax2+Bxy+Cy2+Dx+Ey+F=0)were used for curve fitting the corneal surface respectively. The relative merits among three fitting curves were analyzed. Finally,the eccentricity(e)obtained by corneal topography and conic section were compared with paired t-test. RESULTS:Five edge detection algorithms all had continuous coordinates which indicated the edge of the corneal surface. The ordinates of manual identifying were close to the inside of the actual edges. Binomial curve was greatly affected by tilt angle. Polynomial curve was lack of geometrical properties and unstable. Conic section could calculate the tilted symmetry axis,eccentricity,circle center,etc. There were no significant differences between 'e' values by corneal topography and conic section(t=0.9143,P=0.3760 〉0.05).CONCLUSION:It is feasible to simulate the corneal surface with mathematical curve with Matlab software. Edge detection has better repeatability and higher efficiency. The manual identifying approach is an indispensable complement for detection. Polynomial and conic section are both the alternative methods for corneal curve fitting. Conic curve was the optimal choice based on the specific geometrical properties.展开更多

The calculation results obtained by solving the driven and damped nonlinear Schr?dinger equation indicate that an ultralow coupled pump power is required to excite the primary comb modes through a non-degenerate four-wave-mixing(FWM) process and, when the pump power is boosted, both the comb mode intensities and spectral bandwidths increase. At low pump powers, the field intensity profile exhibits a cosine variation manner with frequency equal to the separation of the two pumps, while a roll Turing pattern is formed resulting from the increased comb mode intensities and spectral bandwidths at high pump powers. Meanwhile, we found that the power difference between the two pump fields can be transferred to the newly generated comb modes, which are located on both sides of the pump modes, through a cascaded FWM process. Experimentally, the dual-pumped OFCs were realized by coupling two self-oscillating pump fields into a microring resonator. The numerically calculated comb spectrum is verified by generating an OFC with 2.0 THz mode spacing over 160 nm bandwidth. In addition, the formation of a roll Turing pattern at high pump powers is inferred from the measured autocorrelation trace of a 10 free spectral range(FSR) OFC. The experimental observations accord well with the numerical predictions. Due to their large and tunable mode spacing, robustness,and flexibility, the proposed dual-pumped OFCs could find potential applications in a wide range of fields,including arbitrary optical waveform generation, high-capacity optical communications, and signal-processing systems.展开更多

摘要Light extraction efficiency of organic light-emitting devices has improved by using a nano-sized multi-cathode structure consisting of semi-transparent metal and an optical compensation layer. From the detail optical calculation based on the multi-scale analysis including near-field optics, it was found that surface plasmon loss in the metal cathode is suppressed to less than 10% due to long range and short range surface plasmon coupling between both sides of metal cathode. Not less than 90% of optical power in the dipole emission can be successfully utilized as propagation light. Light extraction efficiency in a phosphorescent device has improved about twice by using the multi-cathode structure.

摘要AIM:To select the optimal edge detection methods to identify the corneal surface,and compare three fitting curve equations with Matlab software. METHODS:Fifteen subjects were recruited. The corneal images from optical coherence tomography(OCT)were imported into Matlab software. Five edge detection methods(Canny,Log,Prewitt,Roberts,Sobel)were used to identify the corneal surface. Then two manual identifying methods(ginput and getpts)were applied to identify the edge coordinates respectively. The differences among these methods were compared. Binomial curve(y=Ax2+Bx+C),Polynomial curve [p(x)=p1xn+p2x(n-1)+....+pnx+pn+1] and Conic section(Ax2+Bxy+Cy2+Dx+Ey+F=0)were used for curve fitting the corneal surface respectively. The relative merits among three fitting curves were analyzed. Finally,the eccentricity(e)obtained by corneal topography and conic section were compared with paired t-test. RESULTS:Five edge detection algorithms all had continuous coordinates which indicated the edge of the corneal surface. The ordinates of manual identifying were close to the inside of the actual edges. Binomial curve was greatly affected by tilt angle. Polynomial curve was lack of geometrical properties and unstable. Conic section could calculate the tilted symmetry axis,eccentricity,circle center,etc. There were no significant differences between 'e' values by corneal topography and conic section(t=0.9143,P=0.3760 〉0.05).CONCLUSION:It is feasible to simulate the corneal surface with mathematical curve with Matlab software. Edge detection has better repeatability and higher efficiency. The manual identifying approach is an indispensable complement for detection. Polynomial and conic section are both the alternative methods for corneal curve fitting. Conic curve was the optimal choice based on the specific geometrical properties.

摘要Dual-pumped microring-resonator-based optical frequency combs(OFCs) and their temporal characteristics are numerically investigated and experimentally explored. The calculation results obtained by solving the driven and damped nonlinear Schr?dinger equation indicate that an ultralow coupled pump power is required to excite the primary comb modes through a non-degenerate four-wave-mixing(FWM) process and, when the pump power is boosted, both the comb mode intensities and spectral bandwidths increase. At low pump powers, the field intensity profile exhibits a cosine variation manner with frequency equal to the separation of the two pumps, while a roll Turing pattern is formed resulting from the increased comb mode intensities and spectral bandwidths at high pump powers. Meanwhile, we found that the power difference between the two pump fields can be transferred to the newly generated comb modes, which are located on both sides of the pump modes, through a cascaded FWM process. Experimentally, the dual-pumped OFCs were realized by coupling two self-oscillating pump fields into a microring resonator. The numerically calculated comb spectrum is verified by generating an OFC with 2.0 THz mode spacing over 160 nm bandwidth. In addition, the formation of a roll Turing pattern at high pump powers is inferred from the measured autocorrelation trace of a 10 free spectral range(FSR) OFC. The experimental observations accord well with the numerical predictions. Due to their large and tunable mode spacing, robustness,and flexibility, the proposed dual-pumped OFCs could find potential applications in a wide range of fields,including arbitrary optical waveform generation, high-capacity optical communications, and signal-processing systems.
摘要An optical bandwidth analysis of a quantum-well (16 nm) transistor laser with 150-μm cavity length using a charge control model is reported in order to modify the quantum-well location through the base region. At constant bias current, the simulation shows significant enhancement in optical bandwidth due to moving the quantum well in the direction of collector-base junction. No remarkable resonance peak, limiting factor in laser diodes, is observed during this modification in transistor laser structure. The method can be utilized for transistor laser structure design.

摘要A liquid argon detector,consisting of 2.2 metric tons of liquid argon,is used to observe a significant alteration in the scintillation light yield of liquid argon while maintaining a high value for the slow decay time.The absorption effect due to trace impurities on 128 nm photons during vacuum-UV light transmission can account for this phenomenon.This explanation is substantiated by a combined analysis of data pertaining to variations in light yield and slow decay time with impurity concentration.The relationship between the light absorption length in liquid argon and detector light yield is assessed by employing GEANT4 detector simulations.The measured light yields suggest a reasonable range for the light absorption length,approximately 3-5 m or 8-10 m,as observed in two purification experiments.To enable future large-scale liquid argon detectors to achieve comparable light yields,it is imperative to significantly enhance the light absorption length of liquid argon.

摘要Visual aesthetics is a key metric of semi-transparent organic photovoltaics(ST-OPVs)for building-integrated solar windows,yet previous studies have primarily focused on the compromise between efficiency and transparency.In this work,we address the overlooked aspect of full visual aesthetic control of organic solar windows,particularly the bidirectional reflected color for architectural harmony,via designing ST-OPVs with the double-sided ultra-thin Ag/TeO2 transparent electrodes.Such a design facilitates full-spectrum color tunability and covers the whole standard color gamut of CIE coordinates on both surfaces of the device,as achieved simply by adjusting the thickness of each layer.Meanwhile,the resulting devices exhibit neutral transparency(16.6%–27.0%)and competitive efficiency(8.1%–9.2%).Moreover,the device delivers strong capacity for flexible device,and demonstrates flexibility-adaptive coloration and curvature-enhanced aesthetics.Therefore,this work presents an ST-OPV design featuring full visual aesthetics and considerable performance,paving the way for the commercialization of organic solar windows for building-and vehicle-integration.

摘要In the area of computer-aided optical design most software packages rely on a surface list based data structure.For classical on-axis lenses-such as camera lenses-the list-based data structure is a suitable way for managing lens data.However,for modern high-end optical systems such as off-axis free-form designs,multi-path systems or for accurate tolerance analysis of complex opto-mechanical systems,the list-based approach often reaches its limits.In this paper we present a new tree-like data structure that is able to solve many of the problems that emerge from surface list based data structures.
